Coriander Prawns

A fantastic recipe for entertaining. The spiced butter mixture is a tasty blend of herbs and spices which doesn't overwhelm the delicate prawn flavor but rather, imparts a beautiful Asian meets Indian twist to the prawns.

what you’ll need

spiced butter

3 Tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons fish sauce

2 cloves garlic (crushed)

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

2 teaspoons garam marsala

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/2 bunch fresh coriander chopped

24 large green prawns shelled and deveined

8 small wooden skewers

Method

Mix together all spiced butter ingredients.

Thread prawns onto skewers and spread generously with spiced butter mix. These can be left for up to an hour (refrigerated) before grilling the skewers on a BBQ or stove top.

Skewers will take approximately 2 minutes on one side and a further 1 minute after flipping. Prawns should be pink and cooked through.

Serve immediately garnished with chopped coriander.
